p. 149 "Vertries and Wetzel tracts are shown on a map in the Tracey Manuscript representing grants until about 1743. We wonder whether John Valentine knew that his tract, John's Mountain, contained iron ore. In 1769 John Valentine Verdries, Jr. sold John's Mountain, first surveyed in 1738, including early furnace land and the site of later Auburn Mansion, to Benedict Calvert and Thomas Johnson. In 1779 he sold 100 acres of Blue Springs to the five Johnson brothers who built Johnson Furnace, later called Catoctin Furnace."
